If it’s not nutrient dense, it’s not smart...

Think Smart!

Empty calories are not good to consume, but most calories consumed in America are empty calories (sugar & refined food products).  In this new century, how smart you are will be seen by all - by how healthy you are. An indispensable habit of health is consuming nutrient dense food. In general nutrient dense foods are:

• Whole Grains & Whole Grain Products
• Fruits and Vegetables
• Seeds & Legumes
• Fats & Oils
• Herbs & Spices
• Meats, Fish & Poultry

Restrict empty calories to one day a week. Empty calorie foods include:

• Sodas
• Refined Flour Noodles
• Cakes and Pastries
• Potato Chips
• Bread, Rolls and Jam

Raw foods are overrated. Just focus on nutrient dense.

Eating raw foods is very good, but is also a bit overrated. Many vegetables are more nutritious... even edible when cooked. Many fruits are especially delicious when cooked. Meats are not safe unless thoroughly cooked. Visit our Tips on Cooking page for more information on when to cook and when not to cook. Keep in mind that eating meats sparingly is a very healthy practice, if your heredity, work load and environmental factors permit.
